Wednesday, · –
As we look forward to the fall semester, many of us are anticipating continuing challenges with re-engaging students in the classroom environment. Bring your lunch (if you want to), and join us for a reflective conversation on this challenge and to share and generate ideas for approaching our classrooms and students in the environment in which we find ourselves. Over the last several months there have been articles about his topic in the New York TImes, Chronicle of Higher Education, and Inside Higher Ed among others that could provide a useful starting point for our conversation.

This event is part of the Faculty Enrichment Events calendar.

NC State Swimmers Sweep Day 3 Individual Events at Cary Sectionals
EASTERN ZONE SECTIONALS
- July 14-17, 2022
- Triangle Aquatic Center, Cary, NC
- LCM
- Live Results
- Results on Meet Mobile as “2022 ESSZ Speedo Southern Sectionals”
NC State swimmers dominated the third night of the Southern Sectionals meet in Cary, NC, winning all six individual events.
NC State’s Yara Hierath won her second event of the meet with a 4:16.88 in the 400 free. The rising junior also won the 800 free to start off the meet on Thursday.
Likewise, her teammate Abby Arens got her 2nd win of the week with a lifetime best and a win 59.04 in the 100 fly after winning the 200 IM on Thursday. Her teammate Kylee Alons was the only other swimmer under a minute, touching 2nd in 59.95.
Heather MacCausland made it three for three for the Wolfpack with a 1:09.17 win in the 100 breast. Her teammate Andrea Podmanikova took 2nd in 1:09.59. Both Alons and Podmanikova just wrapped up their senior seasons in Raleigh, but intend to return for a fifth year.
With only four teams entered in the 800 free relay, East Carolina Aquatics took the win in 8:33.00. The youngest two swimmers on the squad, Emily Armen and Adeline Cloutier, each split 2:06s.
The men’s side of the competition followed a pretty similar pattern. James Plage nearly got under the 3:50 mark with a 3:50.06 win the 400 free, with no one else within 8 seconds of his time tonight. That’s a new best for Plage, with his previous best of 3:51.41 coming from last summer’s Olympic Trials. Like Hierath, Plage won the 800 free on Thursday.
The Wolfpack men particularly dominated the 100 fly, taking the top three spots as those three swimmers battled it down to the final stroke. Luke Miller got his hand on the wall first with a 52.76 after going a lifetime best 52.64 in prelims. It was a battle of the Noahs behind him, with Noah Henderson just touch ahead of Noah Bowers, 53.05 to 53.06. The pair had previous lifetime bests of 53.40 and 53.41.
Another NC State soon-to-be fifth year, Rafal Kusto, won the 100 breast in 1:02.23, followed by Texas commit Will Scholtz of Lakeside at 1:02.99.
SwimMac went 1-2 in the 800 free relay, with 200 and 400 IM winner Baylor Nelson anchoring the winning ‘A’ team in 1:50.63, en route to a 7:40.99 win.
‘Keralaganam’ must be rendered in all official cultural events of State: Saji Cherian
Kottayam: A Malayalam patriotic poem titled ‘Keralaganam’ penned by freedom fighter and poet Bodheswaran in 1938 will be sung as the opening song of all cultural events to be organised in the southern state, Culture Minister Saji Cherian said on Sunday.
The minister made the announcement at the foundation stone laying ceremony of Kerala State Film Development Corporation’s multiplex theatre at Vaikom in the district.
Cherian said the 25-line poem beginning with “Jaya Jaya Komala Kerala Dharani” was declared as the cultural song of Kerala in 2014 but was never sung at any cultural events.
“It has been 13 months since I became the Culture Minister. Despite participating in many cultural events, I have never heard this cultural song sung anywhere,” the minister said and expressed happiness for singing the song for the first time at the stone laying ceremony at Vaikom.
Congratulating singers V Devanand and Vaikom Vijayalakshmi for beautifully singing the song, Cherian said KSFDC Chairman Shaji N Karun has been directed to take steps to set the music for the song.
The minister also said Devanand and Vijayalakshmi will sing the song after composing music for the lyrics.
Keralaganam was sung at the first meeting of the Kerala Legislative Assembly after the formation of the state.
Then it was sung by All India Radio artistes Saradamani and Radhamani, known as Paravoor sisters.
